Did ya know… when we talk about 1965, a lot of people here think we are talking about B.C.?

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:35:21 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=27642#comment-250930I’m thinking back on the 2009 World Champ Yankees, and I’m thinking what a great acquisition Sabathia really was. Obviously there were important contributions from others, notably Rodgiguez, but CC was the key to winning the whole enchilada.

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:47:16 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=27642#comment-250929[29] hey man, Happy New Year! and by “new”, i mean something that rhymes with that, but i’m not sure how kosher it is of me to type that here! ; )

oh, and i actually can cook. a little bit. it’s generally pretty bland, but i can fend for myself okay…

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:43:43 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=27642#comment-250928Hi folks.
Yeah, I was planning to go to some Bright Night events in Providence, buty the weather is threatening and most likely I’ll stay home and cook something and just hang with my family. I’ll try to make up for it this weekend.

yeah man, the Chicken Rustico really is terrific! you don’t have ‘em in Joisey, but i get mine at Kroger. they’re kinda pricey, but they generally have ‘em on sale for $2 apiece, which is totally a fair price. i recently picked up their Turkey Fiesta, which looks to be very similar, just w/ a Southwestern flavor. i haven’t tried it yet, but i’m sure it’s excellent. also, easy to make – 2 minutes in the microwave!

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:40:11 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=27642#comment-250922[21] I like the name Astrid…a rare case of a Germanic word sounding very nice.

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:35:06 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=27642#comment-250921[20] That is not Pio Pio! I stumbled past that place, ordered Arroz Chaufa and got a plate full of grease. They use the name, but have no association. The owners of the real Pio Pio are trying to make them the change the name. The quality of that place was so bad, any association is a major detriment.

La Rosa Nautica is also on my list, but almost as much for the location as the cuisine (which is still reported to be very good).

One of the best things about Peruvian food in Peru is it is a relative bargain because of the exchange rate. While clothes and electronics, for example, are actually more expensive there (mostly because they are imported), the food is very cheap.

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:30:20 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=27642#comment-250920[20] yeah, this was 1991 and i do believe he was Irish-Italian! i dated an Irish-Italian girl from Worcester for many, many years…

[20] the bass player working with me tonight, has a daughter named Astrid and she’ll be there tonight. the famous one, spells it Astrud (Gilberto)…

i know nothing about food, but i’ve been enjoying these frozen organic things called “Chicken Rustico” by Kashi. not sure if the “rustico” is peruvian at all, but they sure are good!

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:22:47 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=27642#comment-250919[15] I also saw Pio Pio on the boardwalk in City Island

[16] I tried Rustica and wasn’t really impressed either. If we do takeout it’s usually pollo la brasa at Canastas, maybe Norkys or Rokys. Service is sometimes hit or miss depending on where and when you go. One other thing I find amusing is that while we take fast food restaurants for granted here, it’s a big deal to head to a KFC there.

My gf usually cooks for me when I’m there. Also, there’s a pollada practically every day; someone is always trying to raise money for something, so sometimes we’ll attend and eat there. I also want to try Astrid y Gaston, along with La Rosa Nautica. There are a couple more restaurants that I’d like to try, but names escape me at the moment.

my very first college roommate is from Port Chester! it’s waaaaay up there in NY, basically Canada.

LOL! Not many rednecks around here; lot of Latin Americans though. Seems before that it was typical Irish-Italian working class around here. It has changed a bit since I first showed up in the area around 1993. I was going to Westchester Community College, and the baseball team practiced @ a storage facility along the Byram River.

i really like peruvian food too. i am a big fan of all of the south american and caribbean cuisines that combine many cuisines as william alluded to.
i ate at a peruvian place in park slope that was pretty good – the best i had was off the beaten path in miami. i love fish so i can appreciate a lot of the seafood dishes.
